Taking risks, breaking the rules, and being a maverick have always been important but today they are more crucial than ever.

The single biggest reason companies fail is they overinvest in what is, as opposed to what might be.

An adaptable company is one that captures more than its fair share of new opportunities. It's always redefining its 'core business' in ways that open up new avenues for growth.

There are as many foolhardy ways to grow as there are to downsize.

Great accomplishments start with great aspirations.

Most companies don't have the luxury of focusing exclusively on innovation. They have to innovate while stamping out zillions of widgets or processing billions of transactions.

You can't build an adaptable organization without adaptable people - and individuals change only when they have to, or when they want to.
